Faure-Glucksmann rivalry energizes French Socialist Party primary campaign
A dispute between Olivier Faure and Raphael Glucksmann over the format of the Socialist Party's primary is intensifying the race, according to Le Monde.
Olivier Faure, first secretary of France's Socialist Party, and MEP Raphaël Glucksmann, the two frontrunners, are clashing over the format of the social-democratic camp's primary election, Le Monde reported.
Faure wants to broaden the primary to new candidates such as François Ruffin or Matthieu Pigasse, a proposal Glucksmann rejects, according to the report.
